Sonnet

Im looking for an original sin

Something that only I could do for you

I lost before the game was to begin

And now I am here with nothing to do

All hopes of days underneath the sunrise

But the cruel winter chill did steal my breath

Just as the smoldering heat of your eyes

But now this heart beats of nothing but death

As I await the never coming kiss

And feel the tears that cruelly stain my cheeks

There is nothing about you I won't miss

And now I climb to stand atop these peaks

All fears now alive and entombing me

As I fall from these tips into the sea

    This was very well written piece hun. I love the way you wrote this using loose but long syntax. I felt the diction was simple but beautiful at the same time. I love the imagery and the sweetness in the tone. Very lovely poem. Glad I read this one. Nik :)

    ^^^VERY good intro. Unique, "an original sin" caught my eye (:

    Something that only I could do for you

    I lost before the game was to begin

    And now I am here with nothing to do

    ^^^Sad, but expressive. Very well written.

    All hopes of days underneath the sunrise

    ^^^ This is another line I enjoyed, somehow the way you wrote it entranced me (: Excellent.

    But the cruel winter chill did steal my breath

    Just as the smoldering heat of your eyes

    ^^^Here the imagery is fantastic.

    But now this heart beats of nothing but death

    As I await the never coming kiss

    And feel the tears that cruelly stain my cheeks

    ^I don't think the "that" is necessary, and it would support the flow without it.

    There is nothing about you I won't miss

    And now I climb to stand atop these peaks

    All fears now alive and entombing me

    As I fall from these tips into the sea

    ^^^Again, excellent imagery and perfect ending. This was probably one of the best I've read from you, incrediable job, really.
